Reform.
Editor Mirror:


An expression heard about reforming a
few Sundays ago by one of the ladies of the
w. &. L. U. made me take my pen and
write these lines. She who used those
words, like our dearly beloved and departed
friend, the Rev. DR.. Carroll, had her whole
heart in her work. Now, we men who ale
outcasts from society, how easy it would be
for lis to make this place our place of safety.
What l mean by this is, that we could very
easily, if we put our hearts into the work,
make this place, instead of hell on earth,
the means Of saving ourselves. You under
stand what mean. This lady spoke Of
having temperance society of our own
within these walls. That would really be
a grand thing, but as every one of necessity
must be temperance man until his term
expires, l should not in the least wonder
that every one within this institution would
pledge his word, and then at the first mo-
ment of weakness when his term expires
here would break it and be as bad as ever
l do not say that all would do so, nor that
anyone would do so willingly, but we must
always remember that here and outside are
two different places and that one half of
the inmates OF an institution like this wear
a mask that is thrown aside as soon as the
great portals of liberty are opened. We
know that in any kind of good work the
officers of this institution, from the inSpec-
tors to the guards, are willing to lend
helping hand and do anything for us that is
for our own good; it has been proven to us
Oftimes, although we do not appreciate it
sometimes. Now, the society of temper
ance that is in my own poor opinion to be
started is this: Every man must have his
own free will, but he that signs the pledge
must wear a badge of some kind that
he may be known among his fellow men;
the pledge must not merely be pledge to
abstain from every Intoxicating drink. but
must be to abstain from everything that is
bad-from chewing and smoking tobacco,
and from everything that is degrading, and
each time that he breaks his pledge there
must be fine or punishment imposed.
These articles must be well understood by
every man that joins and there should be re-
wards OF some kind for those that join and
Loyalty keep their promises. 1 believe
that if the man who has been using tobac-
co for any length of time is able to break
the habit there is not much danger of his
ever breaking the pledge. because in six
months from the day he stops he will find
himself a different person. There are a
great many in here whom l know, that
need only something to stano by to alter
their lives entirely, and soon, very soon
you would all find more pleasure in life,
even in here. GEO. ANDERSON.

jury service. The decision is sound and
sensible one and if it is not good law it
it ought to be. The usual supposition that
an intelligent knowledge of case disquali-
ties man as a juror. is a relic of ali age
when newspapers were few and newsgather-
ing. in the modern sense, unknown. New
conditions modify everything, and this is
one point at which the system of jury trial
needs radical and intelligent modification.

In the United States to-day there are
about 2, 500 jails and prisons. Out OF the
1900, 900 persons annually arrested, ITO. 900
are convicted and made prisoners for longer
or shorter terms in these places of Grimm
nal confinement. If we allow that 40 per
cent. of these which is high estimate,
are ''repeaters," we will still have over
100, 900 persons annually introduced and
broken into what may he termed criminal
experience and suffering the punishment of
a criminal. More than $500, 900 have
been expended in building and equipping
these institutions. Each year we eXpend
over 81, 900. 600 more for expenses of pris-
Oners in Jail. Add to this the sum of $780,
600, 600 more, paid by the government for
arrests simply, and then $50. 900, 600 more
as interest on the capital invested, and even
then we do not have the full total Win

The Entire state Interested.


The Reno Journal says the matter OF list

than the interest OF the several counties
through which the O. P. r. r. passes.
The entire State Ia interested, because she
would receive her pro rata OF the fund coni-
ing from this source, which in q short
time would reduced the rate OF taxation
for State purposes. This being so any AS
SCISSOR who Is in doubt as to his duty In

Attorney of his county as to what IL proper.
The question being one which will effect

ties of the State the opinion OF the Attorney
General should be solisited. General Alex
ander can fathom the matter and II called
upon by those in power would give an
opinion which would command respect at
home and abroad. What the Journal de-
sires is light on this matter which ID so
material to the railroad company and the
State. We believe the opinion Of General
Alexander can be reached by some OF the
several Assessors interested appealing to
the District Attorney Of his county. and
that officer by reason Of the direct interest
the State has. appealing to the Attorney
General for his views. There certainly is
some way Of officially cracking this nut,
in which there is so much meat, a part OF
which belongs to each taxpayer withinsthis

owing to the demands of advertisers. The
step was deferred for nearly three months
on account of several contracts for adver-
Using ending on the first of the present
month, but the contracts have been
promptly renewed, and as a result, two or
three columns of live advertisements have
been crowded out for several weeks past
and new ones continue to pour in. This
Is by no means the only prosperous feature
Of the Gazette. Since the commencement
OF it's present management its circulation
has increased fully 80 per cent. and its list

doubtedly exceeds that OF any other news

MY Husband IL Dead,

The Virginia Chronicle says a startling
incident that occurred the day succeeding
the Gould & Curry fire is related by an
acquaintance of Mrs. Doherty, wife Of
Charles Doherty, one OF the victims.
Mrs. Doherty was conversing with some
lady visitors. who had called to condole
with her In her bereavement. Suddenly
Mrs. Doherty turned her head and ex-
claimed. "Oh. Charley |" She then be-
gan weeping and said: "My husband is
dead" She then explained 10 her visitors
that her husband had frequently
been in the habit Of approaching her
s~teslthily from behind when she did not
expect it and tapping her on the shoulder
In a playful manner to startle her. She
declared that when she exclaimed "Oh,
Charley" and turned her head, she
plainly felt her husband tap her on the
shoulder then, and she was satisfied thai
at that moment he bresthed his last.
